Desert Rats FC did a little shopping in the Transfer Market, and finally came up with a higher-Quality ML/AML player to act as backup to Kostadin Marinov.



3* left-winger Gary Cusack has departed for pastures new.

Desert Rats League match of the day was at home against 12th place, and in the first half, the Rats went to town. Right-back Bryce Brown opened the scoring, then it was 'they shoot, they score' as Kostadin Marinov (2), Mukhtar Hassan, Shaun Ruel and Patrick Tillmanns racked up another five to make the half-time score 6-0. The visitors obviously had a word during the break, as they came out with more committment in the second-half, and the goals dried up for the hosts. Final score 6-0, and Desert Rats still have a commanding lead.

Cup Semi-Final day, and the draw was as follows:



Desert Rats FC had an away 1st Leg with an 8%Q advantage over their hosts. The Rats started slowly, but in the last quarter-hour of the first-half, piled on 3 goals without reply through defender Christian Lipp, scoring his debut goal for the club, and Patrick Tillmanns (2, 1 pen). The home side pulled two goals back during the second-half, but Desert Rats take a one goal advantage, and three away goals, into the return match.

Unfinished business time, as there's a missing match report for Home Guard FC from Tuesday.

Home Guard FC played an away League match against 13th place, and won 4-1 with goals from Supachai Sunthornpit, Hekmat Fadhil, Samuel Njewel and Nick Gill.

On Wednesday, Home Guard FC went shopping at the same time as Desert Rats. Currently, it's pointless trying to get a 5* player from the Level 1 Transfer Market as the usual feeding frenzy is now inflated by the 'let's bid as many times as possible because we can get our tokens back' crowd, making any eventual purchase super-expensive both in terms of tokens and cash outlay. So the Management retreated into relatively calmer waters of the higher-Q 4* players, who can be regarded as a step up from the low-Q 3* players which they are to replace. Hence these three purchases...



Lewis Parkes, Gregory Iriout and Jamie Miller are the players on the way out.

All three new recruits made their first appearances for Home Guard during the two matches today, but it was left-winger Samuel Njewel who made all the headlines.

Home Guards Semi-Final Cup Draw saw them pitted against the lowest-Quality remaining team, but with the prospect of playing a much better Quality team in the Final.



The away 1st Leg turned out to be an end-to-end affair, what little the Management saw of it, as he was battling against a decidedly-flaky mobile connection. After going a goal down, Samuel Njewel scored twice to put the visitors into the lead, only for them to be pegged back. Njewel completed his hat-trick to give Home Guard the lead again, but the defence went AWOL late on and gifted the home side another equaliser and the match ended 3-3.

Home Guard had a home League match against another human-managed team, currently on a mini-revival and climbing the table fast. This got nipped in the bud as Home Guard ran riot, Samuel Njewel in particular. Of the home sides goals in the 6-1 win, Njewel claimed five of them, the other going to a debut strike by Mathias Rolando. 2nd place lost, so the lead at the top is now 15 points and Home Guard are looking odds-on for the Championship.

Games done for today.
A bit sour taste.

2nd team angry sheep lost in the league from the 3rd of the league. I fell on 2nd position but there is room to get the title. Good I have already reached cup final as first leg was an enormous 5-0.

With Clover13 I play champions league against a near 8star team. At half time I was winning 3-0 and it seemed that I outclassed the oppo. Unfortunately without changing anything (oppo manager away) oppo managed to score 2 goals.
Although I was the one terrorizing their defense as AM said game ended with a 3-2 score, which is not bad but it is not good the way it came. Let's see how the second league will go.
Champions is my only and main target in order to participate next season as I am tanking.
Unfortunately remaining oppos are +1 star near 8star teams

Mixed fortunes for Desert Rats today...

Desert Rats played an away League match against 11th position, and won 5-1, with goals from Maximiliano Arcamone, Eulogio Noguera (2), Emerson de Alencar Arraes and Filip Andersson. The win maintains their lead at the top of the table. Patrick Tillmanns and Kostadin Marinov were rested today, but that didn't stop them dominating the 'Top Players' tables.



Just as in last season, with Desert Rats playing in a +1 level Champions League, in the Quarter-Final they come up against a team that has had an easy time of upgrading their squad. When the competition began, their opponents this evening were 55.0 (80.0%) Quality, now they're 62.5Q (110.2%) - in contrast, the Rats have gone from 55.2 (80.7%) to 59.7 (98.9%). Match preview:



Match report:



Level +1, Q +11% - what do you expect? Desert Rats first defeat of the season.
